FC Barcelona has not defined whether Xavi Hernández will continue to command the first team. In the event that he is dismissed, there will be three names on the board of the culé board, according to information from Jijantes
In the FC Barcelona reigns the uncertainty. From the Thursday, in the previous of the party against the Almería, the continuity of Xavi Hernández is in the air. Joan Laporta has a big 'get angry' with the trainer by his statements on the 'reality' that the club, economically, is not in conditions to compete against other teams as in previous years. His words generated a lot of annoyance in the breast of the Catalan entity.
In the last days have increased the rumours on the possibility that, finally, Xavi abandon his place. Even before it finalise the season. All will define , probably, this Sunday when they gather the directors and 'heavy weights' of the club before the party against the Ray Vallecano in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. Laporta Will have to take a decision.
The Barça recovers his list of candidates
In the meantime, as it had happened in February, are varied the trainers that have been linked with the Barça. The profile is clear: A technician that have experience and, more important still, that can arrive to the club in favourable conditions to economic level. That is to say, without having to pay a 'signing' to some club. From 'Jijantes' had informed that they are three the names that are in the diary: Rafa Márquez, Hansi Flick and Thomas Tuchel.
The first has been one of the most commented, because it likes to the directive and are satisfied with his work in the Barça Atlètic and that knows more than well the 'house', in addition to that it could give continuity to the big aim that have the Barcelona to give opportunities to the youngest players and formed in The Masia. In paper, is the most feasible option for the club, although the most risked to sportive level because the experience 'important' of Márquez has been in the filial. No in a team of First Division in Europe.
The options abroad for the Barça
On the other hand, it is the possibility of Thomas Tuchel that has confirmed that it will not be still in the Bayern of Munich further of 30 June of this year, as it was foreseen. The season of the Bavarian group has not been hopeful and have remained without titles for the first time in more than a decade, by what the annoyance with the trainer is big. It has not had luck in Germany, but is a trainer with a lot of experience and that it can 'serve' to calm the spirits in a changing room that seems absolutely broken.
In the recámara also will be Hansi Flick, that is without team since it was destituido in 2023 of the selection of Germany. Already it was very linked with the Barça and trascended, even, that produced negotiations... Although from the Barça have denied it at all times. Before it was very interested in carrying the reins of the Barcelona bench, but now desconoce his posture.
